Download and reinstall the webcam drivers.

Get online and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "Acer Support" or "Crystal Eye Support" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating system when requested. Download and install the drivers.


Try using ManyCam. It comes with drivers.

You can always download Manycam and install it. Go to www.google.com and in the search box type: "download.cnet.com" (without the quotes). Click on the link to go to the site. When the site opens look down on the left and you will see a gray area that says Find Software. Type "Manycam" (without the quotes) in the white search area then hit the search mirror. When it brings back your results look for the one that says ManyCam Virtual Webcam. Down load it and install it. Make sure you remove the check box on any junky programs it would like to install. You only want to install ManyCam, no additions whatsoever during the install. ManyCam is totally FREE and easy to use, and you will always know where your webcam software is.

You can visit ManyCam's website and learn how to use it on facebook, skype or any other application where you video chat.

Using it as a stand along just to take a picture is easy.

SOURCE: acer crystal eye webcam cant use in yahoo messenger

Some newer cams are not compatible with Yahoo, check here to make sure yours is. If not (too new) then try a 3rd party software to run it through... I've used a free fun one called 'ManyCam' , if you run your laptop cam through that it should work on yahoo messenger.

Good luck!

SOURCE: crystal eye webcam wont work on my acer aspire 6930

The cause of this problem is a combination of the new Windows Live Messenger 9 beta and McAfee antivirus trial that is installed on your Aspire.

Several solutions are availabe:

1. Simply to update your McAfee Antivirus. You can do this by selecting the update function in McAfee's interface. This should fix the problem instantly.

2. If step 1 does not work, you can, if you dont care much for the new Messenger look, uninstall version 9 and just install 8.5 again. This has no known problems at all.

3. see McAfee support site: http://service.mcafee.com/faqdocument.aspx?id=TS100601

Hope this solves your problem!

Open "My Computer" (XP) or "Computer" (Vista) and it should be listed as a device there.

The Camera is fact Liteon, and your using sunyin driver to operate it, is that correct?

If so, WHY?

Apropriate and recommended drivers for specific hardware, else things go BELLY_UP!!!!

Try installing the recommended drivers for your Liteon camera.

I don't know what happened to my Acer Crystal Eye Webcam. When I click the icon, it said that no camera was found. This happened in the beggining of December. I tried to fix it by shutting down tasks, and...

It could be a driver issue, if you have already download the correct driver for it, and still nothing and you get nothing when attempting to use the webcam, then your webcam probraly history. You can check to see if your computer can detect the device in the device manage in your control panel to see if windows detect an imaging device, or any unkown device. If it detect your imagining device such as the webcam, check to see if the driver is installed and is working properly, if nothing is shown in your imagin device, then your webcam is history.

I can't find acer crystal eye driver for Acer Aspire 4736z

If your webcam is installed in an Acer computer product you may be able to find support on the Acer website. Would need the name and model numb r of your product.

If you have a stand alone Acer webcam you may have to try one of the sites that make drivers available. This one may be one of your best options:

My grand daughter has an ACER one NOTEBOOK S/N:LUS670D123938001bc1601. I WAS TOLD SHE COULD USE THE WEB CAM BUT SHE DOES NOT HAVE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. COULD YOU HELP US? THANK YOU,

click the start menu button, then click programs, look for a program on your computer called "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" this is the software used to take pictures and video with the webcam on your Aspire One. Other programs such as Skype, Yahoo Messenger, and websites like Facebook can automatically detect your webcam and let you use it for things like video chat, and taking profile pictures.
hope this helps.

Acer Crystal Eye Webcam

The first thing to check is if your webcam is working correctly. If you're running Windows XP, click on the "start" button, then click on "My Computer". Now double click on "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam". It should now show a screen with video from the webcam (probably of your face in front of the computer).

Acer Crystal Eye webcam

Import video is only when you have recorded a video using the webcam in a particular format and not on the fly which is what you are trying to do.

Record what you want using another application and the webcam then import the video into movie maker to edit.

Alternatively, I think you need to to go the options screen and select the default audio device. Go to control pannels and see if its there and then select the webcam as the default device for MS applications.

good luck
